A nice little movie

It's quite interesting to think that such a small and intimate movie won the Best picture academy award back in 1955. Do you think it would have a chance against our contemporary epics with a huge budget (ex : Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Dance with the Wolves, Titanic,...) ? Anyway, I thought it was charming with a very good perfomance by Ernest Borgnine and it is definitely worth a look.

Marty (Ernest Borgnine) is a 34-year-old butcher whose Italian family is constantly after him to get married. He meets plain-looking schoolteacher Clara (Betsy Blair). They are both lonely, unglamorous people who have resigned themselves to their unloved lives. But they manage, in time, to grope their way to love.

Year By Year Of My Favorite Flix (94 movies items)

" A small movie that, even though it tends to hit you with it's easy point over the head like a hammer at times, features engagingly warm & down to earth performances by Earnest Borgnine & crew. " You don't like her. My mother don't like her. She's a dog. And I'm a fat, ugly man. Well, all I know is I had a good time last night. I'm gonna have a good time tonight. If we have enough good times together, I'm gonna get down on my knees. I'm gonna beg that girl to marry me. If we make a party on "
